Default Re: Student question about communication and navigation equipment

Katie, that is an interesting question.
The thing with kayaks - being "self-propelled" type of a vessel, they generally do not require registration. That may vary from state to state, but in general - unless they have a motor mounted, you do not have to register it... And you would not have any of those formal requirements to carry VHF radio, GPS, etc... While it's a great idea for safety - it is not a requirement.

But I'm really not sure.
I would suggest that you put your question up on some of the more active kayak fishing forums, and I'm sure you'll get some valuable input.

Hope this helps, good luck!
